For T.R.'s 150th, TRCP Launches New "150 Days of Conservation Inspiration" Web Site

WASHINGTON - As part of its celebration of Theodore Roosevelt's 150th birthday, the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership today launched www.TR150.org , a web site intended to give visitors a daily dose of conservation inspiration.

For the next 150 days, the site will include two new daily features. "This Day in Conservation History" will highlight significant events that make up our unique American conservation heritage. "T.R.ivia," the second daily feature, will celebrate the lesser-known aspects of the life of a man who did more to expand our conservation heritage than any other.

"Theodore Roosevelt's contribution to each and every American is a birthright of public lands unmatched anywhere else in this world," said TRCP Communications Manager Britta Blodgett. "This site, www.TR150.org , will shine light on his life and legacy in a way that's never been done before."

Field & Stream magazine is joining T.R.'s 150th birthday celebration by publishing a special photo gallery and essay, along with a quiz that allows visitors to test their T.R. IQ, at www.fieldandstream.com .

"This is a day for the community of the conservation-minded to celebrate," said TRCP Director of Communications Tim Zink. "If they're inclined to imbibe, it'd be the right time to join me in raising a glass to our 26th president."
